This sweet little painting started off as one of my thoughtful colour clusters - an exercise in the intentional placement of colour - but soon found itself excitedly perched on the cusp of a holiday. The day before school lets out for summer, the eve of a vacation, one sleep away from escaping into the wide, violet yonder. It was begging me to find the fun and so I did. Some of the brushstrokes here have already taken off on their own adventure and I’m getting the sense that the others are soon to follow. As am I!
The soothing lavender of ‘Lilac’ adds a hint of calm to the vibrant contemporary composition. This little piece conjures up the feeling of a summer evening, with floral scents dancing on a warm breeze. One of the smallest colorful abstract paintings in my collection of ‘Summer Detours’, it packs a purple punch!
